Objective - The purpose of this research is to evaluate research on educational models, to study the effect of the research characteristics on educational models, and to synthesize the research methods and presentations about educational models through qualitative synthesis by content analysis.

Methodology/Technique - The sample was research on educational models on the type of thesis at the graduate level from 2013 to present. The research instruments took three forms. The data analysis method used was the ATLAS.ti program using content analysis, frequency, and percentage.

Finding - The results show that: 1) The research evaluation on educational models the most of the research used to synthesize research at a very good level, 2) The most research characteristics: research issue was personality traits, research problem presentation was the characteristic of the research problem presentation reflecting the importance of the study, setting research objectives was the study the composition/indicators, develop the model and study the use of the model, and research conceptual framework was the bringing each concept/component together, 3) The most common research methodology applied in the research was research and development (method), focus group discussion (technique), an expert (sample), purposive sampling (sampling), interviews (tool), mean and standard deviation (data analysis), one-group pre-test/post-test design (research design), and 4) there were 8 types of research result presentations on educational models which were descriptive characteristics, causal relationship, the proposed process steps as objective, design characteristics on standard/indicators/factors of model.

Novelty - The qualitative characteristics, system approach characteristics, experimental characteristics, and mixed-method between quantitative and qualitative methods.
